Preparation

Step 1

If the beef is not precut, cut beef across the grain into thin slices 1/8" by 2" long. Mix beef with stir fry sauce and corn starch and set aside.

Cut broccoli into florets about 2" long. Peel the stalks and slice into 2" long lengths, about 1/2" thick.

Thinly slice the carrots.

Add 2 tbs. oil in wok over medium high heat. Add carrots and stir constantly for about 30 seconds. Add broccoli and stir constantly for another 30 seconds. Add water to pan and cover, stirring occasionally until broccoli turns a darker green, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan and spread out on a plate.

Add remaining 2 tbs. oil in same pan. Stir in beef mixture and keep stirring until almost done. To help keep meat from sticking to pan you may wish to add a few tablespoons of water or stock while stirring. Return broccoli to pan and continue stirring for about 1 minute. Serve hot.
